Evel Knievel - Salt Lake City, Utah

As an airline mechanic in the '70's I got to meet many exciting personalities on the planes. Sometimes I had to repair the carpeting of an airplane's floor. While on hands and knees I blocked the aisle as I used double-sided tape. Evel Knievel came up behind me and said, "You don't need to move. If I can jump over a line of cars at Caesar's Palace. I can jump over you!"
